What could have been a routine traffic stop for Victor Olsen early Sunday morning ended with a high-speed chase through downtown, a loud crash and a string of charges against the Brockton driver, police said.

“He tried to take a quick right from Green to Highland and he lost control of the vehicle, jumped the curb hitting another vehicle,” Besarick said. “He continued across the lawn taking down shrubs and a tree, snapping a tree in half.”

The impact propelled Olsen’s Acura into the air, and the car landed on its trunk, tossing Olsen around inside the cabin, police said.

“His head was under the glove box and his feet up in the air” when officers found him, Besarick said, adding that no injuries were reported.

Olsen, of 289 Moraine St., Brockton, was charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle, two counts of malicious destruction of property over $250, marked lanes violation, speeding, driving without his license in possession, failure to stop for police, failure to wear a seat belt, driving an unregistered motor vehicle, driving an uninsured motor vehicle, two counts; and failure to stop or yield, two counts.

Four police cruisers responded to the scene. The BCI unit of the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department also responded to take photographs.

Olsen was scheduled to be arraigned in Brockton District Court on Monday.
